Test Drive Before you Buy (Diets, Exercise, etc.)

Before you are allowed to commit to a system (or even put more than 1/2 an hour thinking about it) do a trial of it. Your trial should be at least 14% of the time you want to commit to, but feel free to raise that % to hit round numbers and raise your chance of success . After a day you can plan for up to a week, a week: up to 7 (6 is better,) a month: up to 7 (6 is better)... and so on... revise as needed during the process, but keep good notes.

SP Diet Stages Lay the Foundation for the Journey

The SP Diet Stages are at the heart of success, so getting started should be based on their substance. Important key to any change? Habit-breaking!

AWARENESS is a key component in any successful journey; it is the product of uncovering habits is a layer-by-layer process worth the time...IF we want to reach goals. Long-held ways may become so ingrained that we need to focus to know they exist. When you think "oh I KNOW this; I'll skip it", THAT may be exactly when you need to focus most!

Junk Food Clean Up

When I wan start eating healthy. I go thou my ice box & pantry. I throw out all the old & junk food. Then I stock with fresh fruits, veggies & dairy stuff. That makes it easier to find healthy snacks.

Water intake

I'm not a big drinking water fan but I've figured out a way of intaking my 8 glasses of water a day, in an easy manner. I have a cup from Flannigans, a local food and bar chain down here that holds 24 oz of water (three glasses!) at a time and I take down three of those babies. Sure not at the same time but it gets the job done!

The Secrst To Getting Started!

Have a plan to get you started. Evaluate that plan along the way. Make changes as needed along the way to improve that plan. And never stop moving upward and forward.

bad day

Today I had no energy to get started.

Set a lower weight loss rate

If staying in calorie range is the most difficult part of your journey, try setting a lower weight-loss rate so you will have a higher calorie range. Adjusting your goal from 2 lb/week to 1 lb/week makes is so you can eat approximately 500 more calories per day!

Commitment Plus

Commitment commitment commitment....3 words that keep me on track. If I am not committed then I won't be disciplined in keeping up my exercise daily and tracking my calories. Commit to exercise, commit to tracking your food intake and commit to your new healthy self.
